"That's right! The second awakening of a Body Spirit!" Zhu Ziyang said, "Do you know about the Body Sect?"
"The Body Sect?" Everyone's expressions were similar, all showing confusion and doubt. Even Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi had a half-understanding look. Zhu Ziyang wasn't surprised by their reactions; after all, the Body Sect's origins were mysterious, and many of its members were reclusive lone wolves. It was normal for everyone present, being Outer Courtyard students, not to know much.
"The Body Sect, as the name suggests, is a Sect composed of Body Spirit Masters. This Sect's strength is very powerful, on par with our Shrek Academy!" Zhu Ziyang briefly introduced the Body Sect's situation.
"What? On par with our Shrek Academy?" Huo Yuhao was very shocked. In the naive World of a young boy, Shrek Academy was the strongest force on the continent. Hearing Zhu Ziyang say that there was another force on par with Shrek Academy, the impact was imaginable.
"The Body Sect?!" Bei Bei murmured, then suddenly looked up, his eyes filled with understanding and hatred. He remembered the origin of this Body Sect, because Mu En's injury was caused by the Body Sect!
"In terms of research on Body Spirits, no academy or Sect on the continent can compare with the Body Sect." Zhu Ziyang noticed Bei Bei's expression but didn't pay attention to it. Instead, he continued, "The second awakening of a Body Spirit is what they proposed. The reason the Body Sect can contend with our Shrek Academy is largely due to the power of Body Spirits! Because Body Spirits are undoubtedly high-level Spirits, and after undergoing a second awakening, they can even grow into top-tier Spirits, or even super Spirits!"
"Senior, are you saying that my Spiritual Eye Spirit can become a top-tier Spirit like the White Tiger Spirit?" Huo Yuhao was very excited, looking at Zhu Ziyang with eyes full of anticipation, and asked.
"Hehe, theoretically, such an opportunity exists." Zhu Ziyang smiled faintly, "From what I understand, once a Body Spirit completes its second awakening, the Spirit Master's cultivation potential and the Spirit's development potential will advance by leaps and bounds. Let alone the White Tiger Spirit, it's even possible to surpass the True Dragon Spirit."
"Nanan, Ziyang, do you know the method for the second awakening of a Body Spirit?" Tang Ya's eyes gleamed with excitement as she eagerly asked. She felt that she had truly stumbled upon a treasure this time. If Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Eye Spirit could truly undergo a second awakening as Zhu Ziyang said, then it would definitely be a great thing for the Tang Sect!
"Uh, you really think too highly of me. How could I possibly know the Body Sect's secret techniques?" Zhu Ziyang shook his head helplessly, saying.
"Ah! Is that so? What a pity!" Tang Ya couldn't help but show a regretful expression, saying.
"However, the second awakening of any Spirit is related to the Spirit's origin. If Yu Hao can consciously strengthen his Spirit's origin in the future, it's not impossible for him to discover the second awakening of the Spiritual Eye Spirit on his own." Zhu Ziyang said with a slight smile, "Tang Ya, you should have a deep understanding of this!"
"Oh, why didn't I think of that?" Tang Ya immediately became excited again upon hearing this, exclaiming, "Yu Hao, you must listen carefully to Ziyang!"
"Mmm mmm mmm!" Huo Yuhao nodded repeatedly, like a hamster, and a hint of admiration appeared in his eyes as he looked at Zhu Ziyang. Powerful, exceptionally talented, knowledgeable, and amiable—wasn't this the strong person Huo Yuhao envisioned?
"Yu Hao, you might as well use your spirit power to nourish your eyes often; it might even strengthen your Spirit's origin." Zhu Ziyang thought for a moment, then suggested, "As a Body Spirit, your Spiritual Eye Spirit has a higher capacity for spirit power. Nourishing it with spirit power might lead to unexpected changes."
"Mhm, I understand, Big Brother Ziyang." Huo Yuhao respectfully agreed, feeling for the second time that his future wasn't so uncertain.
"Ziyang, thank you so much." Bei Bei said to Zhu Ziyang with gratitude on his face. He knew that Zhu Ziyang had no obligation to guide Huo Yuhao, yet he still did. It was nothing more than for the sake of Xiao Ya and him, so Bei Bei was very grateful.
"Don't worry about it, I only did this because I find Yu Hao pleasing to the eye. Otherwise, do you think your and Xiao Ya's faces alone would be worth my doing this?" Zhu Ziyang said semi-jokingly.
"Oh, Zhu Ziyang, I thought of you as a good friend, but I didn't expect you to think less of me than Yu Hao. This is too infuriating!" Tang Ya immediately bristled upon hearing this, grabbing Jiang Nannan's hand and saying, "Nannan, look at him!"
"Hehehe~" Jiang Nannan just smiled without speaking.
"By the way, Teacher Xiao Ya, Big Brother Ziyang, Teacher Zhou Yi wants me to learn spirit tools. Should I agree?" Huo Yuhao asked, a look of confusion on his face.
"Ah? Zhou Yi wants you to learn spirit tools?" Tang Ya was a bit surprised and lost her composure for a moment, looking at Zhu Ziyang for help.
"spirit tools? This is indeed a good choice for Yu Hao, and the Tang Sect does need a Soul Engineer." Zhu Ziyang also showed a surprised expression, then fell into deep thought. After a moment, he reached a conclusion and spoke.
"Is that so? Then why did you stop me from learning spirit tools before?" Tang Ya heard Zhu Ziyang's words and immediately showed a puzzled expression.
When they were still in their first year, Tang Ya had already made a plan to revitalize the Tang Sect by learning spirit tools, and she wanted to learn spirit tools herself. However, she was quickly stopped by Zhu Ziyang. Zhu Ziyang believed that Tang Ya's idea was not wrong, but he did not recommend her to learn spirit tools herself.
Firstly, Tang Ya's cultivation talent was average. If she were to divert her attention to learning spirit tools, it would inevitably delay her cultivation, which would be unwise. Secondly, as the Sect Master of the Tang Sect, Tang Ya should prioritize improving her own strength, because only when her strength as Sect Master was powerful could she better attract talent to join the Tang Sect. After all, if the Sect Master was only a Spirit Elder or Spirit Ancestor, how could one expect others to have expectations for this Sect?
"Your situation and Yu Hao's are different, how can they be lumped together?" Zhu Ziyang gave Tang Ya a speechless glance and explained, "Yu Hao is a rare mental-type Spirit Master, and making spirit tools precisely requires powerful mental force. He is more suitable for learning spirit tools than you. Who knows, Yu Hao might just be a rare spirit tool genius in a hundred years?"
His tone sounded like a joke, but it was his true thought. Because Zhu Ziyang vaguely remembered that Huo Yuhao in "Soul Land II: The Unrivaled Tang Sect" was indeed a Soul Engineer. According to the rule that a child of destiny does not engage in useless professions, perhaps Huo Yuhao really was a spirit tool genius? Moreover, Xian Lin'er once said that mental-type Spirit Masters are most suitable for becoming Soul Engineers. She wasn't just saying that; the Soul Engineers in the Inner Courtyard were all Spirit Masters with powerful mental force.
"So that's how it is, haha, haha!" Tang Ya laughed somewhat awkwardly, then looked at Huo Yuhao and encouraged him, "Yu Hao, in that case, put in some effort and go learn spirit tools!"
"Mhm mhm! I understand!" Huo Yuhao nodded obediently upon hearing this.
"Hmph!" Wang Dong, sitting next to Huo Yuhao, couldn't help but let out a cold snort, pinching Huo Yuhao with a displeased look.
"Wang Dong, do you have any opinions?" Wang Dong's small action didn't escape Tang Ya's eyes. Tang Ya immediately said, "Why are you pinching Yu Hao?"
"I, I…" Wang Dong didn't expect his small action to be discovered by Tang Ya, and immediately became a bit flustered. His arrogant eyes darted around, looking very much like a shy young girl.
"Teacher Xiao Ya, Wang Dong also wants to join the Tang Sect, but he's just too embarrassed to say it." Huo Yuhao timely rescued his roommate, a hint of teasing in his smile.
"Oh, I remember now. When Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi were fighting, you did mention it to me, but I forgot." Tang Ya suddenly recalled upon hearing this, awkwardly scratching her head and smiling, "Alright, I agree! I originally planned to let you join only after you won the freshman assessment, but I'm in a good mood today, so I'll make an exception and let you join!"
"Really? Thank you, Teacher Xiao Ya!" Wang Dong immediately jumped up excitedly upon hearing this, completely losing the arrogant Young Master demeanor he had at first, "With my addition, the Tang Sect will gain a great general!"
"Hehehe, that's great, General Wang Dong. Now we're fellow disciples, you have to call me Senior Brother!" Huo Yuhao said with a mischievous smile.
"Go away, go away! Talk to me after you can beat me!" Wang Dong immediately retorted, "Only the strong can be Senior Brother!"
"And who was it that I was riding under back then?" Huo Yuhao said casually, and with that one sentence, Wang Dong immediately bristled, instantly grabbing at Huo Yuhao.
Zhu Ziyang looked at the two of them, always feeling that this scene was a bit strange. Also, why would this Wang Dong want to join the Tang Sect?
Something is wrong!
